Baking soda is a really bad pregnancy craving of mine along with that of "crushed" ice or any ice for that matter. I asked my doctor about it and although it is not healthy it is common. For 9 months of my pregnancy with my now 2 year old daughter I ate baking soda and she came out fine. Not I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my son and I've been eating baking soda and the doctor says he's fine as well. My only problem is that I do have high blood pressure if I do not drink enough ice water in between the cravings for baking soda.
Eating baking soda may also be a sign of an Iron Deficiency.

∙ 14y agoI think so. three things I know women shouldn't eat are raw fish and raw eggs (meaning no cookie dough for you! lol). Also, if your cat goes outside at all, I wouldn't change the kitty litter because it contains something that can cause miscarriages.
**Baking soda can leach the body of B vitamins as well as folic acid. Probably not a good idea when pregnant.

∙ 15y agoNo. It can also be harmful to your body.
The normal acidity of vaginal fluid helps to keep it healthy. Any foreign substance that changes this pH can cause harm. THis includes douches and deodorants. Baking soda has a pH of 9. It is alkaline (also called caustic or basic) and the opposite of acidic. It will change the natural pH of the vagina which is normally slightly acidic: between 3.8 to 4.5.
The difference between a pH of 9 and a pH of 4 is significant because the pH scale is from 1 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic) and 7 is neutral. (For comparison household vinegar is typically 5% acetic acid and has a pH of about 2.4, and ammonia has a pH of 10)

∙ 14y agoEating straight baking soda would be harmful to anyone, let alone a pregnant person! But eating biscuits or any other baked product MADE with baking soda would not be harmful.
Are you perhaps mistaking cornstarch for baking soda? Pregnant women sometimes crave cornstarch, which is not harmful aside from excessive calories.
